The large crowds made it necessary for facilities such as food tents and portable toilets. LIVING HISTORY Pope John Paul ۱۱ visited the Des Moines Living History Farms on October 4, 1979, as part of his tour of the United States. A crowd of 350,000, including 190 Ames High students, went to see him. He'sthe leader of my church, Dreux Hempe said, and | wanted to hear him speak. For the students who didn't go, a [V was placed in the front lobby where the historic visit could be viewed. After arriving by helicopter, the Pope celebrated Mass, urging the receptive crowd to save our land and share our crops with the poor. “It was a good religous experience for everyone. The huge crowd reminded me of the crowds you read about in the Bible, said John Aitchison. Twenty-six Emergency First-aid students volunteered as basic res- cuers, providing first-aid and life saving when needed. Fern Lawler, first-aid instructor, thought it was an excellent opportunity for the stu- dents to use what they learned in class. Being a basic rescuer “made it all come to life. “| really felt a sense of accomplish- ment at the end of the day, even though we spent most of our time directing people to the bathrooms. Someone needed to be there, and the people showed their gratitude. That left me with a really great feel- ing!” one volunteer exclaimed. um
